Chapter 1452
“Yes, we’ve had too many presents in the past, and I’m out of ideas now. Then I realized I
haven’t gotten him any antiques yet.”
Christina nodded and had a short chat with her before leaving and letting the young people
spend time instead.
Barbara had tea with Maisie at a cafe nearby when Maisie remembered something and
blurted, “I think I saw someone today.”
Barbara asked, “who?”
“Ian Summer.”
Once the name came up, Barbara froze. It had been a while, and she didn’t seem to
remember much anymore.
“Where did you see him?”

that while her eyes were on Barbara’s face and chuckled. “Why? Do you still have a thing for
him?”
Barbara rolled her eyes. “Nonsense! If Helios hears this, he’s going to be so jealous.”
“It’s fine then. It’s been so long. I thought you would feel bad if I mentioned him.”
“No way!”
She didn’t feel bad, but there was regret in her heart because she liked him so much.
Maisie asked her, “Does Helios know about this?”
“No.” Barbara held her teacup but didn’t drink. “I never told him.”
“Tell him before any misunderstandings begin. I just want to point out that he’s in Bassburgh.”
Maisie didn’t have any intentions of mentioning Ian other than wanting Barabara to accept her past.
Everyone was young once, when Ian handed Glitz to her, he didn’t say goodbye to Barbara when he left.
Barbara must have felt some regret about that.
Now that she was with Helios, everything in the past would just stay in the past.
She reminded her that Ian was in Bassburgh so that she would be prepared if they bumped into each other.
Barbara got home, and the nanny said Helios was spending time with Beatrice upstairs.
She walked to the study and saw Helios holding Beatrice in a chair. He looked helpless when Beatrice started
doodling on his documents.
When Beatrice saw Barbara, she held out her hands and said in her baby voice, “Mama.”
Barbara walked over and took her into her arms, “ Baby, your daddy’s documents have turned into your doodling
pad.”
Beatrice grabbed her dress, “I’m hungry.”
Helios laughed and stood up. “She’s hungry. I’ll get the nanny to make her some food.”
He called for the nanny. The latter walked in, took Beatrice from Barbara, and went
downstairs.
Barbara suddenly hugged Helios, who paused and touched her hair. “Weren’t you at Dawn

“Yes, we were.”
“How was the movie?”
She smiled. “I didn’t understand it, but Mom enjoyed it.”
Helios hugged Barbara, and she looked up at him after a while. “I need to come clean about
something.”
Meanwhile, at Blackgold...
Quincy got some news from Mr. Washington that Mr. Saldana was looking for his illegitimate
son.
Nolan put down the documents and looked up. “He’s looking for his illegitimate son?”
“Yes, I’m guessing he wants his son to be a scapegoat. Based on my intel, the fund that Mr.
Saldana stole wasn’t in his books. He’s really cunning. All he wants is for Synergy to be safe.
Even if he was investigated, all the numbers would be correct. All he needs to do is lay low
for a while, and he will be fine.”
